The enantioselective organocatalytic reduction of aryl-substituted nitroenamines was successfully performed under continuous-flow conditions. After a preliminary screening with a 10-μL microreactor, to establish the best reaction conditions, the reduction was scaled up in a 0.5-mL mesoreactor, without appreciable loss of enantioselectivity, that remained constantly higher than 90%. The in-flow nitro reduction was also accomplished, either by Raney nickel catalyzed hydrogenation or by a metal-free methodology based on the use of the very inexpensive and readily available reducing agent trichlorosilane. The final aim is to develop a two-step, continuous-flow process for the stereo­selective, metal-free, catalytic synthesis of differently functionalized chiral 1,2-diamines.

Dextromethorphan was N-demethylated using the non-classical Polonovski reaction under continuous flow conditions, in two steps: initial N-oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid followed by iron-catalysed N-demethylation of the resulting N-oxide.

A novel, metal-free process for the challenging synthesis of 2-(3-methyl-1<i>H</i>-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) acetic acid (<b>1</b>) is reported, which features an efficient condensation for the triazole build-up under flow conditions. This continuous, two-step method is atom economical, highly selective and environmentally benign, due to the avoidance of chromatography and isolation steps. Compared to the earlier batch synthetic routes, higher yields were achieved in a flow reactor. In addition, a highly energetic intermediate could be controlled and handled in a safe manner. To generalize the established route, several triazoles were finally prepared under the described conditions, confirming that the methodology could find useful applications for the rapid and sustainable construction of differentially functionalized 1,2,4-triazoles.

The Eschenmoser coupling is a useful carbon–carbon bond forming reaction which has been used in various different synthesis strategies. The reaction proceeds smoothly if S-alkylated ternary thioamides or thiolactames are used. In the case of S-alkylated secondary thioamides or thiolactames, the Eschenmoser coupling needs prolonged reaction times and elevated temperatures to deliver valuable yields. We have used a flow chemistry system to promote the Eschenmoser coupling under enhanced reaction conditions in order to convert the demanding precursors such as S-alkylated secondary thioamides and thiolactames in an efficient way. Under pressurized reaction conditions at about 220 °C, the desired Eschenmoser coupling products were obtained within 70 s residence time. The reaction kinetics was investigated and 15 examples of different building block combinations are given.
